Many predators kill the young of a pack if another male takes over, beavers cause plenty of environmental damage with their dams, some ants keep aphids as farm animals for their sugary excretions, and chimpanzees are well known for "waging war" on each other for females and territory. Sorry, but the whole notion of mankind as somehow worse than any other animal species bugs me.

Welcome to the site BTW.
